I'm so sorry this has taken so long to post. I've been super busy! please read, review, and enjoy!
At the hospital, the doctor confirmed that Sara had been brutally raped, and the police were called in before they let Gwen or Kevin see her. When the detective came out, he asked about how they found her. He asked them to get her to tell them the truth about what happened. She was protecting her rapist by not giving a name. He left, and then the doctor let them see her, one at a time.
"Gwen!" Sara was so happy to see a familiar face. "Where's Ben? Did you call him?"
"I was getting ready to ask you the same thing. Where was Ben when this happened?"
"He said he had to sign some paperwork cause he didn't do it last night before he came to my house. He left, and then I went back to sleep. How could my dream be real, Gwen? How could I have woken up and it really have happened?" Sara asked with tears in her eyes.
"Did Ben do this to you?" Gwen asked her back. Surely her cousin couldn't do something like this to the girl he was in love with. But Gwen and Kevin got there at 8:35, and Ben was gone. She had deep cuts in her skin where where she had been tied up and was bleeding for her bottom. What other explanation could there be?
"What? No! It was a dream. Ben was gone." Suddenly, they heard a commotion outside. Gwen ran out to see Kevin had Ben pinned the wall. "Kevin!" She yelled at him.
"What the fuck are you doing, man?" Ben yelled at Kevin. His mom had called him to ask about Sara after Gwen's parents told her. He had tried to call her, Gwen, and Kevin, but no one would answer their phone. He called every hospital in town looking for her, and finally found her at this one. Kevin punched him as soon as he saw him and threw him against the wall.
"Why did you do it? How could you?" Kevin asked.
"What are you doing, Kevin?" Sara asked quietly as she stood in the doorway of her room with her IVs behind her. He let Ben go to her.
"Baby, what happened? My parents called me...I didn't know where they took you...thank god Gwen and Kevin found you!" he said as he touched her red and bruised face. He walked her back to her bed, and Gwen and Kevin followed them.
"Ben, it was awful. You know my rape dream? Well, I had it again and when I woke up, it had really happened!"
Gwen and Kevin couldn't believe what she was saying. Gwen asked, "You're serious Sara? It was really a dream? We thought you were protecting..." She glanced over at Ben.
"You think I did this to her?!" Ben yelled. "Are y'all fucking insane? I would never do anything like that to her."
"I can't believe you thought Ben did this to me..." Sara said as she sobbed. She couldn't hold it together anymore. Ben held her close, tearing up himself. She whipped her gown up to show them her bite mark on her stomach. "Do you think Ben could have done this to me?" The teeth marks were obviously too big to human.
"I'm sorry...it just didn't seem to be any other explanation," Gwen whispered. She was so ashamed for believing her cousin could do that.
"Yea me, too. What you're saying, Sara, is just so...unbelievable. It still is," Kevin pointed out. He felt awful for thinking the worst of his best friend.
"Whatever," Ben said to them. He looked at Sara and said, "Are you sure it was a dream...that no one was there?" She nodded. "Tell me everything." And she did. "What did the monster do look like, if he said he was a friend of mine?"
"He was huge. I was several feet off the floor, and he was still several feet taller. He could fit my entire head in his hand. He had red eyes and black lips and the weirdest feeling skin."
"Is that all you remember?" Kevin asked. This description sounded too familiar to all of them.
"No. He had a really weird beard...like it wasn't even a beard at all. Kinda like..." she was trying to think of a word to describe it.
Ben cut her off by saying, "I'm gonna show you some pictures, Sara. Tell me if any of them look familiar. Give me a minute." He pulled out his phone and started searching. When he found a few aliens that looked what she described, he handed the phone to her. Him, Gwen, and Kevin crowded around her so they could see. "Scroll to the right. Look at them all twice." He purposefully didn't put who he thought it was in the line-up.
"He's not in there, but this one looks really similar." She was pointing to Myaxx. She didn't need to know she was a girl.
"How does he look different?" Gwen asked.
"Well...he was a lot bigger than this one, and these weird...tentacle things were like down more like a beard, like I was telling you."
He grabbed the phone and found a pictures of several people from Vilgaxia, including his worst enemy, and gave it back to her. "Is he in there now? Look at them all twice again before you decide to make sure."
When she got to the picture of the one who raped her, her hand started shaking. "Him! It's him!" Kevin grabbed the phone and made her look at the rest of photons just to make sure. "No, no! It's the one I showed you," she demanded. "Who is that?!"
"That's the alien we were just fighting...Vilgax," Gwen said solemnly.
Kevin looked at Gwen and said, "How could he have gotten in her dream? He's not magical."
"He has to be working with someone who is," Gwen speculated.
